A word on accuracy

Proof of ownership
Use the book and page or instrument number from the record near Kirkwood so the lookup is fast; a title search is wise before any purchase.
Sections, lots and bearings
Illinois is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Roseville is described by section, township and range.
